TruckersMP not working in Linux?
Hello everyone!
First off: I’m happy to make my (almost) switch to Linux (currently distro hopping, but caught my favorite one) and always got everything ready to set it up the way I want it to. My only problem is with TruckersMP. I can’t get it to work at all. Like I can install it using Proton Tricks and get it able to find the Euro Truck Simulator 2 path. But as soon as I launch it, I get the error 102, asking me if my path to the game is still valid/available. And since then I couldn’t really find a fix for it so far. Launching Euro Truck Simulator 2 itself though works just fine.
What I have tried so far:
- Installing it on the same prefix as Euro Truck Simulator 2
- Running it on different proton versions (including GE)
- Reinstalled it amounts of times as well as Euro Truck Simulator 2
- Replaced the files within from an original windows installation
- Launching it with sudo/giving it full access
- Trying this on different distros (CachyOS, EndeavourOS and Fedora Linux), giving the same error.
And yet, I can’t get it to work, so I’m asking if anyone got it working as did months ago.
I was following this guide on the TruckersMP Forum website: https://forum.truckersmp.com/index.php?/topic/115291-install-truckersmp-launcher-on-linux/
I would be very grateful for any kind of solutions.

Steam games won't launch
I just installed steam and the steam launcher is working fine. It's when I try to play a game when it goes awry. It goes from "launching" to "play" and it won't even launch the game. I also tried to use it on a platinum game just in case it was a proton problem but it was a no-go either, it didn't produce a crash log. I tried playing games on Heroic and it works just fine there. I have enabled Proton and added Proton launch options but it still won't work. Any tips?

Is COSMIC a good alternative to KDE for gaming? Does it have all the goodies like VRR and HDR?
I'm getting into linux gaming but I've always really struggled with KDE and don't personally love it. I'm sorry, I know a lot of people who like it, I don't want to trigger anyone. I loved Gnome 3 back in the day, and Cinnamon has carried the torch pretty well. Gaming, and wayland, seem to have left it somewhat behind. I've been trying to get used to KDE but I can tell that I still don't like it.
- There is no good unified design language between app and even system applets, and what design language there is, I don't really like, even with some intense themeing.
- There are too many built in KDE apps that all seem to break a lot and also have the above design issue. I haven't used a single built-in KDE app I actually like. And they all have stupid knames.
I'm trying Cosmic and it seems like an excellent answer. Rebuilt in Rust (whatever) against the modern wayland environment (big deal), it really seems to have a good design language, and a lot of UI is just lifted from Gnome which I am happy with.
My question is: Are there any feature dead-ends or foot-guns, especially when it comes to gaming, that I should be aware of with COSMIC? Do VRR and HDR and all those other seemingly very elusive features work properly under COSMIC? I don't see a VRR or HDR toggle in the options so I'm just hoping its working. I've tried to figure this out by googling but development seems so active I can't tell what is really accurate or just-around-the-corner dev wise. Should I just be using GNOME? Does that support the gaming display features?
Context: I have recently taken the plunge on my gaming computer now that the Nvidia drivers seem okayish, and I've been getting the lay of the land. Nobara is clearly an awesome distro aside from some major footguns like not using dnf update.

Why do people mostly switch to ubuntu?
Just looked up at the statistics and it turns out that most people out there use ubuntu or linux mint. Is it because they are easier to install?

Mint - Games Crashing For Odd Reasons
Apologies if I don't sound too knowledgeable on terminology, I'm fairly new to Linux.
Hey! I was playing Hundred Line Last Defence Academy at the start of the month and about 11 hours in the game started crashing. I spent some time trying to fix the problem and did the following:
- Changed GPU Driver
- Updated everything I could in Update Manager
- Changed Proton versions: 4.0, 9.0, Experimental.
- Reinstalled the game and moved its location (I have two save places for Steam)
I was also running btop++ on top for a bit (which allowed me to change tab and force exit the game) but nothing out of the ordinary happened. I also ran proton logs but similarly nothing (according to my friend who does know Linux better than me, who was equally confused).
Through these steps I managed to solve the original crashing issue of it stopping, playing audio only and being unable to tab out of the game or open a terminal. It now dropped to a softer crash where I could close the game.
That is to say, the game would completely stop, but I could now tab out and force closure.
At which point I realised this was also affecting other games: for instance, Project Diva: Hatsune Miku and P5X.
Since the crash frequency dropped I stopped working on it for a bit, but I've noticed some oddities since:
- Sometimes the games lag in a "stutter" every now and again.
-- From looking at btop++ the stuttering is paired with GPU usage dipping to ~25%
- If I turn on my headphones or connect to bluetooth whilst playing a game it immediately crashes.
- Trying to screenshare a game on discord instantly crashes it.
- For some reason it happens less if I have btop++ pinned on top of the game
At this point I reinstalled discord and turned off hardware acceleration and it didn't amend the problem. Instead, there was a few minute delay before crashing rather than an instant crash.
My system info is below, if more is required please ask, I've been thumping my head against a table trying to fix this:

New Intel Linux driver workaround halves initial game load time for MHW
Over 25,000 games are now Steam Deck certified by Valve
AMD BC 250- No Display.
Greetings on thank you for any help in advance. I have a 250 that powers on but displays no video. I have another version that works fine and this one seems a little different. For example this version seems a little newer and has display port out rather than HDMI. I'll upload the picture and maybe you can shed some light on the version if you feel it matters.
I'm powering itwith a new 500 watt power supply. I know the PSU is not the issue because it powers my other B250. This B250 Also has display port out, so I connected it to the appropriate monitor.
I know typically folks will try to get into the BIOS. What key do I have to mash to do that? I also heard people reflash their bios. Can this be done through a USB or do you need a CH341A? I have access to both 341s. The older version with auto switching voltage and the newer version with voltage saying toggle switch.
Typically I like to start troubleshooting down the path of least resistance and move on down the line. I wanted to ask the communities advice before doing much more than connecting and powering on the card.
Hopefully the picture may give you some insight or ideas about what I should try first. Also, if you have run into the same issue and figured out a solution please do let me know.
Thanks in advance and I do appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Intel Core Ultra 9 285H / Intel Arc 140T integrated graphics bad performance on Brawlhalla.
I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i. I am on Kubuntu 26.04 snapshot 2 (I know its a development build, I had the problem on 25.04 and 25.10). Game lags a lot when there are many animations/object on screen. Especially in the menus framerate goes down to as low as 2fps. During gameplay its mostly fine except when KO animations play my fps goes down to 2. Steam overlay says GPU usage is %0.
